[gps-talkusers] Re: POI question

Mary Ellen,

You would probably have to have both states loaded to calculate a route 
from Ohio to Kentucky. There may be some overlap from one state into the 
other and you could try without having both maps loaded.

You can certainly pull up POIs without maps loaded, like the airport.

Because the names of the POIs are truncated, you have to be creative about 
pulling them up sometimes.

In the case of finding Ohare, I first set my virtual position to Chicago 
IL. I tried both 1st street and Main street without luck. These exist in 
most cities. I chose Michigan Ave and set my virtual position there.

Next, I did a Chord F to find all airports within 10 miles. I had to expand 
to 20 miles before I found Ohare. It actually shows up twice as Chicago Ohare I

There is no apostrophy in the name as you might expect.
